Description

Everybody loves alstroemeria as they give copious exotic-looking blooms from June to November that last for up to14 days in a vase! Deadhead by pulling the flower stems gently from the bottom of the plant, the resulting ‘wound’ then initiates new flowers.

Cultural Notes

Soil - Fertile and well drained.

Position - Full sun or partial shade in a sheltered spot

Cutting - Yes

Flowering - Summer, Autumn

Additional Information - Great for pots and borders. If the plant gets too hot in the summer they will stop flowering and put their effort to producing more tuberous roots. Can take between 12 to 16 weeks to grow. The roots of the plants resent disturbance so allow room for growth at planting time. Contact with foliage may aggravate skin allergies. Hardy perennial.
